“He’s holding these dog treats in one hand and a bike helmet in his other hand, and I’m thinking, ‘Oh, my God, is this guy going to lure my dog over and try to hit him with his bike helmet?’” she told podcaster Kmele Foster. “And if I end up over there, am I going to get hit by this bike helmet?”

Just pure paranoia, zero facts. Dude took zero threatening actions whatsoever. A bike helmet is a terrible weapon btw, they’re extremely light.

Fucking hell.

Instead of “Huh, guy must have a bike and a dog, wish him well with his standing around staring at things in a public space” you think. “Oh no! He’s going to lure my dog over there and when I follow he will hit me with his bike helmet! This is a rational thought I am having”

Foster is the former chairman of the America’s Future Foundation, a non-profit political activist organization based out of Washington, D.C.[5] He was the co-host of the Fox Business Network program The Independents, along with Reason magazine editor Matt Welch and Kennedy host Lisa Kennedy Montgomery. He is now lead producer at media company Freethink.[6]

Foster endorsed Justin Amash in the 2020 Libertarian Party presidential primaries.

Real telling who she decided to come to with this story.

Just imagining him sitting there in front of an ever growing pile of people he hits with his bike helmet as they are coming at him one by one.
